In breaking news, the Chief Judge of Minnesota federal courts patience has worn thin with ICE, as he notes in a new order that “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence” cataloguing more than 96 violations by ICE and the DOJ in the last 30 days, and threatening to hold someone in contempt if it happens one more time. Popok reports.

In breaking news, independent journalist Don Lemon has been arrested by Federal Agents while covering the Grammy Awards in LA last night. Michael Popok explains how 3 separate Courts in Minnesota, from the Magistrate to the Chief Judge to 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, all rejected an attempt to arrest Don and recognized his First Amendment Rights as a journalist. Yet the Trump DOJ, to distract from the en masse resignations planned in the Minneapolis US Attorneys’ Office to protest the refusal to properly investigate the Pretti and Good murders, has now vindictively gone after Don.

With only 90 days to go on his term as Fed Chair, Jay Powell once again, in a public speech, told Trump, “hands off” the Federal Reserve’s independence! Popok puts on his Wall Street hat to look at the dire Trump Economy numbers for the last 48 hours, with the skyrocketing oil prices, plummeting consumer confidence and US dollar, increasing Trade Deficit, and a Fed Reserve trying desperately to navigate the turbulence and save the Economy from Trump’s erratic policies.

In a new federal court filing, the Trump Administration is using “patently absurd” and “almost laughable” so-called “evidence” to prove that 137 Venezuelans sent in the middle of the night in violation of a court order, are members of a notorious narco-terrorist gang, such as they wear Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls Jerseys!. Popok reports on new filings and Chief Judge Boesberg demanding that the Trump Administration explain why they continue to deny these 137 men Due Process despite court orders to the contrary.

The DOJ may have just thrown their boss Pam Bondi under the bus, providing a word salad nonsensical explanation to a Federal Judge who has demanded that they explain why her letter to the Minnesota Governor the night Alex Pretti was executed, does not represent extortion or a “ransom letter.” Popok takes a critical eye to the DOJ’s new barely there defense of Bondi, as Trump makes it worse and more likely the Judge will rule against his Administration, with another deranged social media post.

A grand jury has come and gone in Minnesota, and still no indictment of journalist Don Lemon, as the Chief Judge of Minnesota —an arch republican conservative— basically exonerates Don of any crimes in an unprecedented set of letters to his bosses at the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. Popok puts it all in perspective as Trump’s senior cabinet members, Kristie Noam and Pam Bondi, are humiliated by courts, judges, and Trump in the last 24 hours.
